I told myself a million times that I would to read numerous user reviews before purchasing more software. And then sometimes wait until post patch #1. Broke my rule and order Shock Force. Read great previews and believe it can be a solid sim. But there are numerous issues on my tried and true machine that make me want to put it aside for some time. Not experiencing the odd graphics issues that some mention but my frame rates are not great unless I run things 'balanced'. Other games I play are maxxed graphically speaking. Biggest complaint is that I cannot select units by left clicking. Nothing. I use a Kensington trackball but that shouldn't be a issue as everything functions properly in every other app. Anyone else having that issue. Just started reading forums posts a few minutes ago and it's discouraging to read so many posts where proud new owners are having problems. Need to start living by my rule described at the beginning of my post.

JohnE; had the same thought. Copied contents of Disk 1 to my HD and started install. It progressed further than with simply the disk but I still got a CRC error. I assume this means that the some corrupt data/files were simply copied from the disk to the HD. Makes me feel somewhat better knowing that some others are suffering this issue as well. I'm sure tech support will replace the disks. Just means I'll have to jump onto Battlefield and drive tanks there for a while before I can install T-72.

Thanks guys. You were right on top of that! I just popped off an email to support requesting assistance. I'm sure I'll hear from them soon. Right now I'll just jealously sit by as others play. At least I can read the manual a few times.

Eagerly awaiting my copy. Arrived this afternoon. Immediately unwrapped and started install on my machine. CRC error about 20% into Disk 1. WTF? Checked CD for smudges or scratches. Not one. Clean as can be. Tried again with my Sony DVD burner. Same error. Then tried my Teac DVD/CD Rom. Same error but at a different percentage point. Tried to be smart and copied entire CD to a temp folder on hard drive to install from there. SAME PROBLEM!! Arggghhh. Anyone else with this error? My machine is an AMD 64 3400+ with an ATI X800XT and 1 GB of RAM. More than enough to run correctly but I can't install it. Guess I will have to contact the manufacturer but, again, was wondering if anyone else is suffering this.
